Kyoko vs. Yuki (2000)

Strong and Moving!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Another rare to find entry in the Japanese splatter scene. Over here in Europe and in the US it never had a proper release and if you can catch it then it's still spoken in Japanese without subtitles. It only clocks in at an hour but it's worth a catch for a few reasons. This is on the edge of softcore because this time nothing is blurred although you never see their underneath. But on the other hand there are a few softcore scene's that aren't for the easily offended. One lesbian scene involves necrophilia. On part of the gore the red stuff sputters all around and even on bodies. The slashing and killing is mostly done off-screen so gorehounds shouldn't watch this. It delivers for every ones taste, weird story.Gore 2/5 Nudity 3/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Mainly all girl bloody violence and soft core sex, but men get beaten to a pulp too.Familiar looking Japanese streets and landscapes, schoolgirls in uniform and crunching violence with gushing results.Little extra treats include a severed hand plus it's re-attachment by the girl herself who decides to add a few metal shears while she's at it.An umbrella down the throat, over sized Kentucky fried chicken eating lady in net body stocking, plus strap on, plus, plus, plus… Oh, and my very first lesbian necrophilia scene.

From notorious J-splatter/sleaze director Daisuke Yamanouchi, who brought you such filthy classics as MUZAN E, GIRL HELL, RED ROOM 1&2, and SENKETSU NO KIZUNA, comes another nasty mess - KYOKO VS. YUKI. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to like this film - I really just didn't...My copy has no subs or dubs, so from what I gather from the film, Kyoko is a trained assassin and Yuki is a thief (or is it the other way around?...). When they both share the same "mark" for a job, things get competitive between the two professionals, resulting in some pretty bloody cat-fights.Although KYOKO VS. YUKI had some of the shock elements that Yamanouchi is famous for (over-the-top gore, totally unnecessary sleazy sex, a pretty twisted lesbian necrophilia scene, etc...) this one still is the weakest of his films that I've seen so far. I thought that this was a pretty cool and solid concept for a splatter film, if not totally original (several mainstream films have been made with the same basic premise...) but it just didn't deliver. Worth a look to the hard-core "extreme" horror/sleaze fan...most others will be sickened or disappointed. A pretty generous 6/10

"Kyoko vs Yuki" is another cheap exploitation flick made by Daisuke Yamanouchi,the guy behind "Red Room" series or "Mu Zan E".The aforementioned movies are much better than this silly exercise in bad taste.Basically "Kyoko vs Yuki" is about two Japanese girls(one of them is a schoolgirl trained to be killer and another one is a lesbian)fighting with each other with incredibly bloody results.The film offers plenty of lesbian sex/necrophilia and some sickening gore,but the acting is really horrible.I must say that I had always had a problem with SOV stuff,because it looks crap.Japanese filmmakers are usually very good with this medium as they use high-quality equipment and often make films such as "Toriko" or "Naked Blood".Unfortunately this is not the case with "Kyoko vs Yuki".Still if you are into gore or sadistic Japanese horror give this one a look.6 out of 10.
